I just took my 95 accord to get inspected today, the inspector failed me because my left upper control arm had "too much play" and he said my right front link pin was loose. Also, both front tires had some serious wear on the inner side of them.

I have a basic knowledge of how the accord suspension works, but i couldn't find anything about a link pin after about 30 minutes of research.

And about the control arm, would that be something to do with the camper? (camper is stock btw, debating on if i should replace it) and he said my tie rod was loose, but I can handle the tie rod.

Any help or input you guys have would be awesome, I'll keep doing my research and try to figure this thing out.

 

I didn't know honda's had campers on them.. you might want to get that checked, cuz unless you converted your honda into a truck you shouldn't have a camper on it.

 

+1 and replace your upper control arm that will cause inner tire wear. but if your having that type of wear already on stock height i would say change the lower control arm as well. i would recommend this becuz you dont know if the lower bushing stretched cracked or if its just bad due to the top control arm

 

-___- like I said, I'm no expert on suspension.

I'll look into finding some oem control arms, and my car is lowered about two inches, so I'm probably better off replacing both sides.

I still can't find any information about these link pins for the life of me. I asked the guy what he meant, and he said the link pins where loose.....thats it. So does anyone knows what this dude is talking about, or if he's tryna scam me?

 

So from what I've found out, link pins are an older suspension part on 60's vw's. I'm thinking this guy is referring to something else but I'm still trying to figure this out. Any input from you guys would be much appreciated.

 

where was he focused when he told you about the link pins this might help us. if you can tell us what part of the suspension he was focused on when he told you that then we might be able to help you

 

the only thing i can think of is the stabilizer link pins bushings. lol
